of  truth,  honesty  and  industry  become  his  means 
to  personal  achievement.  This  concept  is  being

their   considered    replies   to   the   following   ques 
tion:    'What,   in   your   opinion,   is  Martin   Buber': 
most    significant    contribution    to    the    culture    o

Dear  Friends: 

WBAI's  right  to  the  airwaves  has  never  been  secure.  During  the  four  years  of  its 
existence  it  has.been  operating  under  an  interim  authorization  from  the 
Federal  Communications  Commission.  It  has  had  constant  financial  difficulties 
and  harassments  —  official  and  non-official.  1963  began  with  an  investigation 
by  the  Senate  Internal  Security  Subcommittee,  which  finally  issued  a  transcript 
without  comment.  During  recent  weeks,  its  existence  has  been  further  threatened 
by  the  FCC's  request  that  Pacifca  Board  members  and  station  managers,  myself 
included,  sign  a  non-communist  affidavit.  I  fully  agree  luith  the  statement 
the  Board  issued  on  November  9,  which  says  in  part:  'It  is  the  policy  of  the 
Pacifica  Board  of  Directors  not  to  inquire  into  the  political  or  religious  affiliations 
of  its  members  or  allied  personnel,  or  to  conduct  investigations  to  that  end. 
With  respect  to  those  associated  with  us,  we  judge  the  good  character,  honesty, 
loyalty,  reliability  and  commitment  to  the  U.S.  Constitution  and  to  the 
preservation  of  its  institutions  by  the  quality  of  their  work  and  through  the  acts 
which  express  the  ideas  and  beliefs  which  motivate  their  lives.  Judged  by  these 
standards,  we  have  full  confidence  in  the  integrity,  honesty  and  loyalty  of  the 
members  of  our  Board  and.  management.' 

We  have  asked  continuously  that  our  application  for  a  license  be  granted  on  the 
basis  of  our  program  performance  of  the  past  four  years.  We  reiterate  our  position 
that  we  do  broadcast  'in  the  public  interest  and  necessity.' 

Your  help  in  resisting  any  possible  curtailment  of  our  freedom  and  independence 
is  urgently  needed.  Use  the  attached  envelope  to  send  your  contribution  — 
$1000  if  you  can,fl  if  you  must  —  to  assist  WBAI  in  meeting  these  pressures. 

Sincerely  yours, 


Joseph  Binns 
Station  Manager

.  .  .  and  Freedom  to  Hear 

The  Federal  Communications  Commission 
is  pressing  hard  on  the  nonprofit  Pacifica  Foun- 
dation, which  runs  radio  stations  in  Los  Angeles, 
San  Francisco  and  WBAI-FM  in  New  York,  over 
an  issue  that  could  take  all  three  of  Pacifica's 
stations  off  the  air.  The  F.C.C.  has  made  the 
unusual  demand  that  the  foundation's  directors 
fill  out  questionnaires  about  possible  Communist 
affiliations;  this  Pacifica's  officials  refuse  to  do. 
From  the  listener's  viewpoint — which  is  to  say, 
the  public's — the  issue  is  really  one  of  freedom 
to  hear. 

The  Pacifica  stations  are  frankly  esoteric,  even 
a  little  precious,  in  their  music;  outspoken  and 
often  controversial  in  their  discussion  programs. 
Their  standard  offering— in  contrast  to  that  of 
the  pop-music  stations  which  blanket  the  country 
— is  symphonies  and  symposiums. 

The  stations  have  carried  a  spectrum  of  mi- 
nority political  views  from  extreme  left  to  ex- 
treme right,  including  Communist  and  John 
Birch  Society  speakers,  who  have  been  identified 
as  such.  One  particular  program  which  engaged 
Washington's    attention    included    an    ex-F.B.I. 


agent  who  criticized  J.  Edgar  Hoover.  The  Sen- 
ate Internal  Security  subcommittee  thereupon  in- 
vestigated Pacifica's  management.  In  the  course 
of  its  hearings,  two  witnesses  employed  by  Pacif- 
ica declined  to  answer  questions  about  past  affili- 
ations, pleading  the  First  and  Fifth  Amendments. 
Now  the  F.C.C.  is  inquiring  into  the  political  past 
of  Pacifica's  officials.  Meanwhile,  the  licenses  of 
the  stations  have  not  been  renewed,  and  they 
operate  on  interim  authorizations. 

After  all  the  noble  statements  about  waste- 
lands and  the  need  for  more  educational  and 
controversial  programs,  is  the  F.C.C.  going  to 
nullify  its  preachments  by  a  witch-hunting  ap- 
proach to  stations  that  offer  a  place  on  the 
airwaves  for  unpopular  views? 

Here  is  a  splendid  chance  for  the  new  F.C.C. 
chairman,  E.  William  Henry,  to  give  some  mean- 
ing to  the  usual  platitudes  about  freedom  of  the 
air.  Here  is  his  chance  to  encourage  broadcasters 
who  are  willing  to  recognize  the  intelligence  of 
their  audiences;  to  offer  them  wide  freedom  of 
choice  among  all  kinds  of  ideas,  outrageous  or 
not;  and  to  furnish  the  kind  of  unorthodox  fare 
that  is  such  a  rarity  on  radio,  TV  and  in  the 
press  today.

comparisons  like  the  re-composing  of  the  triplet 
accompaniment  in  the  last  movement  of  the 
sonata  into  a  syncopated  scale  passage  for 
strings),  which  reveal  Beethoven's  instrumental
